4.4.1.2 Creating and Deleting a Profile
Figure 37: Profile Creation and Deletion panels on Configuration Profiles page
To create a new profile, make a copy of an existing profile and give it a new profile name. Select
the source profile from the Select Profile to Copy drop-down list. Specify the name for the profile
to be created using the Name for new profile box. The Allow overwrite of existing profile lets
you delete an existing profile if its name is the same as the new profile name.
You can delete an unwanted profile by choosing its name in the Select Profile to Delete dropdown
list and pressing Delete.
4.4.2 Connectivity Test
The Connectivity Text helps determine if VPN clients on the Internet will be able to connect to the
VPN Server, given its current network configuration settings.
During the test, the Access Server communicates with a test host on the Internet. The test host
reports the public IP address of the connection with the Access Server as well as the hostname
obtained through a reverse DNS lookup on that public IP address.
The test server then attempts to establish a test connection to the Access Server, to simulate the
connectivity that Internet VPN clients will encounter.
